Oh, so sorry. I meant "should." I understand the improbability of it. But he DESERVES to be in over that stupid angel boy, that I am sure! Ah ha ha!---Leaving you with a demented aftertaste 99% of the time!Spiderman+Dimentio=Spider-Dimentio! <3

Also, just because he decided this way so far, it doesn't follow that he always will.

Coincidentally, it also destroys the logic you built this topic around.

No it doesn't. My point was that the rule wasn't absolute. This reinforces the idea that the rule isn't absolute.

The actual definition of origin has remained unchanged throughout all the SSB games. Of course, if the definition of origin changed, then there very well could be a character added that defies our current definition of "originated in a game."

Pit is ineligible for Super Smash Brothers. Sakurai said that he would not add any characters who didn't originate in video games. And Pit didn't originate in a video game.

Many people would argue that Pit originated in Kid Icarus, but that's not where Pit originated. Pit was based on Cupid, a figure from Greco-Roman mythology. This is most apparent if you look at his NES artwork, the way his name is spelled in Japanese, and his status as the bow-wielding, angelic servant of a beautiful goddess. The NES design for Pit does nothing to distance itself from the typical depiction of Cupid. He even collects hearts from people he shoots with his arrow. His name spelled out in Japanese is "Pitto," which is incredibly close to the Japanese Cupid or "Kyupiddo." And where Cupid serves the smokin' goddess Venus/Aphrodite, Pit serves the comely Palutena. Further reinforcing the ties to mythology, Palutena's name is a portmanteau of Pallas Athena, another Greek goddess. Surely the developers took some liberties with mythology. But the origins remain in mythology, not in a game. Pit did not originate in a video game. His origins lie in mythology.

Pit did not originate in a game, but he is playable in Brawl. This means one of two things: either Pit must be removed or Sakurai's alleged rule regarding eligibility is not completely enforceable.

They can do whatever they want with their video game characters, but you can't just by being a literal whore. Pit did indeed originate in a video game. How did he ever NOT originate from a game?! That is where the fallacy starts. You might as well just say 1 = 0 then. No matter how hard you scream and shout out to everyone with all your might, Pit does and always will be a cornerstone of videogames.

You can't possibly say that Pit's existence began in video games when the character owes the beginning of his existence to Cupid. Before Pit there was Cupid. Pit traces the beginning of his existence to Cupid. Therefore Pit's origin lies in mythology not video games.

Doesn't change the fact that he didn't originate in a game. The beginning of his existence lies in mythology because he was derived from Cupid.---"Once again, ViewtifulGene's logic blows minds and crushes dreams." -TheGamingGolferOfficial Batman of the SSB4 Board

Not my argument. I said he originated from Cupid. I didn't say he is Cupid. You made a strawman fallacy.---"Once again, ViewtifulGene's logic blows minds and crushes dreams." -TheGamingGolferOfficial Batman of the SSB4 Board
